- Cultural diversity encompasses culture, ethnicity, and race.
- Culture is a shared system of beliefs, values, and behaviors that shape daily life.
- Culture defines social roles and interactions within communities and families.
- Culture is learned and passed down through generations, both formally and informally.
- Language is the primary means for transmitting culture.
- Cultural practices and beliefs evolve over time.
- Differences exist within and between cultures.
Cultural Diversity - Culture
- A dominant group is the group with the most influence within a society, even though it may not always be the largest group.
- Minority groups are distinguished by physical or cultural characteristics that separate them from the dominant group.
- Cultural assimilation or acculturation is the process where a minority group loses its original cultural characteristics when living within a dominant group and adopts characteristics of the dominant culture.
- Immigrants often assimilate as they integrate into a new dominant culture by attending schools, learning the language and getting jobs within the new culture.
- Mutual cultural assimilation, where both groups exchange traits, also occurs.
Cultural Diversity - Ethnicity
- Members of an ethnic group generally share unique cultural and social beliefs, behaviors, language, religious practices, and interests.
- A summary of U.S. population by ethnicity (2018) is included.
- There are various ethnic groups in Turkey.
Cultural Diversity - Race
- Ethnicity and race are not interchangeable terms, though often used as such.
- Race is based on physical characteristics like skin pigmentation, body type, facial features, and hair texture.
- Ethnicity is based on cultural and social identity, encompassing elements like culture, language, religion, and customs.
Cultural Influences on Healthcare
- Turkey is a multicultural, multiethnic, and multiracial society.
- Nurses should be sensitive to the needs of a patient population with diverse cultural backgrounds.
- Different cultural backgrounds may cause some to feel a certain way or interpret a situation differently, to be mindful of these aspects.
- What might seem reasonable or important to a patient might seem ridiculous or irrelevant to a nurse.
- Nonverbal signals can reveal a patient's pain experience.
Cultural Influences on Healthcare - Physiologic Variations
- Varying studies show that certain racial and ethnic groups are predisposed to specific conditions and diseases.
- This knowledge of individual risk factors is essential when interviewing a patient's medical history.
Cultural Influences on Healthcare - Reactions to Pain
- Some cultures openly express emotions associated with pain, while others do not.
- Nurses often assume that patients not complaining of pain are not in pain.
- Patients who quietly experience pain might not receive the necessary pain-reduction treatment.
- Nonverbal cues can be helpful to identify a patient's level of pain.
Cultural Influences on Healthcare - Mental Health
- Many ethnic groups have different norms for psychological well-being and reactions to certain situations.
- Cultural norms around disclosure of mental health issues may affect willingness to seek help from healthcare providers in certain communities.
- A given perspective based on the cultural view of mental health struggles, might view mental illness in a certain way, possibly causing stigma.

- Physical distance during interactions is important in some cultures but not in others.
- Nurses should be mindful of cultural norms surrounding personal space, especially when providing physical contact.
Cultural Influences on Healthcare - Food and Nutrition
- Food preferences and preparation methods are often related to cultural backgrounds.
- In healthcare settings, patients may not always have a choice of food, negatively affecting nutrition.
Cultural Influences on Healthcare - Family Support

- Individuals living in poverty may face barriers to seeking or receiving adequate healthcare, including those associated with food, sanitation and lack of resources.
